Oberholtzer, pitching for the first time since straining a lat muscle on March 10, gave up five hits and five runs in 3 1-3 innings.

"There's two components - where's he at conditioning-wise, and where he's at from a sharpness standpoint," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said about Olberholtzer's odds of starting the season in the rotation. "But we'll get our group together and figure out what's next."
